Home Orchid Growing by Rebecca Tyson Northen is an old staple. It is
somewhat outdated as to materials and chemicals, but the basics are still
very good. It is out of print through 4 editions, but you can usually find
them available on line.

I also recommend Botanica's Orchids, the Ortho book All About Orchids, The
RHS Manual of Orchids, Simon & Schuster's Guide to Orchids, and Taylor's
Guide to orchids
